Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Noted the history of a trip to Mexico on May 5 and developed watery diarrhea on May 8 - today is May 17 and still have watery diarrhea.
You history indicates that this may be a bacterial diarrhea and I would advise you the following:
Consult a Doctor for clinical evaluation, examination and investigations of stool and blood to find out the cause of diarrhea.
Get started n proper antibiotic and metronidazole to get a control over infection.
Add on probiotics, activated charcoal tablets and Electrolyte solutions to replace the fluid and electrolyte deficiency.
Complete the course and have added treatment as per the reports of the investigations.
I find this answer helpful
